Who Should I Start? Quinshon Judkins or Travis Hunter

Saturday, September 6, 12:35 PM

The Cleveland Browns have been granted a two-game roster exemption for rookie running back Quinshon Judkins, who officially signed his rookie deal on Saturday after a lengthy contractual process. Judkins remains under NFL investigation for domestic violence and battery allegations stemming from the summer, and a suspension is still possible. The exemption allows the Browns to keep him on the roster without cutting another player, though he is ineligible to play in games until the team ends the exemption. He can practice with the team during this period. Judkins is not expected to suit up in Week 1, but finally having him under contract and back with the organization provides a boost to his long-term fantasy outlook. Once active, Judkins could carve out a meaningful role in Cleveland's backfield, with Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson returning to their reserve roles.

In breaking down his predictions for the 2025 season, Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer John Shipley believes that first-round pick Travis Hunter will play close to 80% of his team's offensive snaps and 60-70% on defense. Hunter's unique talents have been on display throughout his college career, pre-draft process, and training camp. The largest question mark on him has been about his usage as he begins his NFL career. Arguably the most talented rookie in this year's class, the Jaguars paid a heavy price on draft night to move up three spots and select him with the number two overall pick. Listed on the team's unofficial depth chart as a starting receiver and backup cornerback, these predicted snap totals suggest that Hunter could feature prominently in the Jaguars' passing attack. Should he find himself on the field for the majority of passing downs, Hunter could pay early dividends to those who were brave enough to draft him.
